Very nice :gj:
I love my dumeril's boa to death, they're such awesome snakes.

Nice!
Hope you don't mind me asking, do you ever find them to be picky eaters when they are young?

Mine is. I think I'm going to try live this week.

Mine was EXTREMELY picky when I first got her as a baby, she didn't eat for probably two weeks when I first brought her home, even with perfect husbandry. But now, watch your fingers when you're putting a mouse in her cage! Haha

She ate her first week, skipped her next meal, went into shed and skipped her last two.
When we are feeding she gets excited and comes out but then turns her nose up.
I'm hoping live will turn her back on.

Thanks!

Of the 24 babies I had this year only two were picky. The rest took to live hoppers without issue. The other two will eat rat pinks/fuzzies. One has since started eating anything, but the other still only prefers rats.

Yayyyyyy Dumeril's!

Also, 2 weeks is literally nothing. That's GOOD that she ate two weeks after you brought her home, sometimes it takes them awhile to settle in!

Agreed! My baby didn't eat at all for the first month we had her. I just persisted with f/t and she is finally eating regularly. She's eaten each week for the last 4 without issue. She does not strike though - I just place it in her tub in front of her and after a brief investigation, she just picks it up and swallows. Silly snake.... ;)

:banana: love me some baby dums! absolutely adorable! :gj:

I really love these snakes, they look amazing and everyone tells me how great they are. But I seem to be having a difficult time finding any available for purchase. Any recommendations?
